Summary

This study looks at whether pelvic floor muscle training is practical and helpful for people recovering from a spinal cord injury during inpatient rehab. Researchers will recruit 50 participants to do pelvic floor physiotherapy five times a week for six weeks. The goal is to see if this training can improve bladder, bowel, and sexual function, as well as quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Pelvic floor muscle physiotherapy
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to improve bladder, bowel, and sexual function for people with spinal cord injury.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early feasibility study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It focuses on whether the training is practical, not on proving it works.
